Welcome to our sealing world
w w w . b u r g m a n n . c o m

You never used to know that

Everything a mechanical seal was


damaged until you saw its
leakage, which was usually
too late. Today, permanent

under control seal monitoring by the Burg-


mann MDS guards against
unwelcome surpri-
ses. Because you always

around the clock: know the seal’s current


state of performance.
A simple warning system –
plus automatic deactivation

Seal diagnosis of the pump if required –


provides additional safety.

Mechanical seals in the SH range were
developed for applications involving high
pressures and sliding velocities. The
deformation behavior of this latest gener-
ation of seals has been optimized on the
basis of extensive FE analyses. The large-
ly standardized inside components are
matched to the respective pump installa-
tion spaces by means of special adapters.
Currently, static pressures of up to 500
barg and dynamic pressures of up to 150
barg can be sealed. The sliding face
materials are generally carbon gra-
phite/SiC or SiC/SiC.

Unmatched for their efficiency and
high degree of safety and environ-

almost any industrial sector and

Until only recently,


use of the gas seal
was limited more
or less to compres-
sors. Today it can
be variously used
to seal machines of the most diverse
types:
 Liquid-conveying pumps, e. g. for media
containing solids or for media with poor
lubricating properties, such as hydro-
carbons.
 as a downstream
safety seal.
 for low-speed
shafts in mixers
and reactors in
the chemical and
pharmaceutical industries where sterility
is required, or when leakage of buffer
fluid into the product must be prevented
(so-called dry-running applications).

A small gap height of approximately

in minimum consumption of buffer gas of
a magnitude that depends largely on the

Explanation: A double seal or a cooled single seal must be used if the pressu-

single seal if the point of intersection lies to the left.

Multiphase technology
With multiphase technology it is possible
to pump the oil-gas-water mixture called
"multiphase" from the well, compress it
and then convey it over long distances
without previous separation. Multiphase
pumps may be used to pump mixtures
with a gas content of up to 98 %. This
technology is mainly used for wells with
a low inherent pressure. Extraction is
increased, and even wells closed due to
insufficient inherent pressure can produ-
ce oil again at a profitable level.

Coal gasification
There were times, particularly during the oil-crisis
years, when coal gasification centred on the pro-
cess of hydrogenation, e. g. to produce motor fuels.
Nowadays the driving force behind its further de-
velopment is the generation of electricity by com-
bination-type power stations with integrated coal
gasification. Here the main objectives are to lower
CO2 emissions, to raise fuel efficiency and to
stretch existing resources. Burgmann has conside-
rable experience at its disposal for this highly de-
manding technology, for Burgmann mechanical
seals and buffer fluid systems have been used in
all the coal gasification processes implemented in
the past few decades.

Feed pumps
Sealing systems featuring maximum operational reliability, convenient
maintenance and low leakage rates with necessary environmental pro-
tective measures are standard requirements in modern power stations.
Sliding velocities in power station feed pumps can be as high as 60 m/s,
so more often than not the only way to satisfy these demands is with spe-
cial designs.

Flue gas desulphurization
Modern coal-fired power stations are equipped nowadays with flue gas
desulphurization plants. The scrubbing systems used by these plants
work with a desulphurizing efficiency of better than 95 %. In preparing
the absorption medium, lime or limestone and water are mixed to form a
suspension which is fed continually into the scrubber washing solution
circuit. Sulphur dioxide and flue-dust in the flue gas become attached to
the drops of washing solution and are removed from the flue gas exhaust.

The media to be sealed (absorber liquid, have been installed in Germany and

Waste w

Sewage works
Municipal and industrial sew-
age is conveyed by waste water
pumps into collection tanks at
the sewage works. Raw sludge
from the settling basins is then
pumped into digestion towers
where it is circulated by so-
called digested sludge pumps
through heat exchangers. The
methane gas released during
the digestion process is used
for heating purposes, as is the
sewage sludge itself to an ever
greater degree.
Sewage works pumps are
usually operated with single
seals in either a dead-end
arrangement (conical) seal
chamber or with product circu-
lation or external flushing
(cylindrical seal chamber).
Depending on the require-
ments, the following seals have

ater systems
Submersible pumps
The building industry makes intensive use
of submersible pumps because of their
mobility. Thanks to their liquid- tight and
pressure-proof design they are equally
popular in waste water systems. Pumping
capacities of up to 5000 m3/h and pum-
ping heads up to 70 m are possible with
these pumps.
Particularly in buildings pits, the pumping
medium consists of dirty water severely
contaminated with sand and stones. The
solids content is often as high as 50%,
with particles of up to 30 mm in diameter
and with soft items such as rags, paper
and so on.

Research and Development
Private "backroom" developments which subsequently
become huge successes have become a rarity nowadays.
The focus is firmly on finding and creating interdisciplinary
solutions and meeting customer requirements, and the
foundation for achieving these objectives lies in sound basic
knowledge, a wealth of experience and, above all, the pos-
sibility to convert ideas into reality - from the test phase
right through to readiness for series production. We main-
tain close collaboration in terms of research, development,
experimentation and testing with our customers, suppliers,
research institutes and university institutions to ensure suc-
cessful completion of the tasks we are set. This also invol-
ves converting the results of pure research into useful
technology within the framework of publicly sponsored
development projects.
With 840 m2 of floor space, our Mechanical Seals R&D
unit's new center contains a large number of test facilities
designed to help meet the above objectives. The following
data shows their extensive operational scope:

• Shaft diameters up to 500 mm


• Sliding velocities up to 200 m/s
• Rotational speeds of up to 40,000 min–1
• Pressures from 0.01 to 400 bar
• Temperatures up to 300 °C

engineers use the very latest finite element programs.
Mathematical considerations are also called for where the opti-
mal design of components for supply systems and accessories
is concerned, e.g. heat exchangers, thermosiphon vessels or
flow-related elements. Documented strength verification in line
with the respective standards also has to be supplied for pres-
sure vessels. The design calculation staff also update and look
after the further development of the CASS Expert System for
selecting mechanical seals.
